In order to direct the antenna to the desired/opposite station, a Great Circle Map can be displayed on the
screen. This Great Circle map will show your location at the center of the map, and you can easily recognize
and confirm the direction your antenna should be pointed to work a station elsewhere in the world.
In addition, when a Yaesu Rotator (G-800DXA, G-1000DXA, or G-2800DXA) is connected to this transceiver,
the transceiver can control the direction of the rotation, rotation speed, etc. on the Display screen. In this case,
the rotator has to be connected to the FT 9000 using a special cable. For details, please contact WDXC.
